i wouldnt have faith in dutasteride regrowing temple hairs, many report it makes their front worse, the problem is people with sucess need to start posting more pictures so we can see the truth. I havent seen many pics of people here on dutasteride and their hairline.
Nizoral 1% only regrows as much as minoxidil 2% 1x per day

Just say not to dutasteride, unless you have tried finasteride for at least a year.
i think before any1 jumps str8 onto dutasteride in the first place should atleast try the big 3 for a year, and if you cant at least maintain on the big 3 in a year then move to dutasteride, but if you dont get lazy with your treatments and now with rogaine foam better absorption i find it hard for someone not to at least maintain hair counts on the big three.

CCS, are you saying that Proscar regrows 20% more hair than Propecia? What's your data source? I know that the Merck dose ranging study compared 1mg and 5mg doses, and that data makes Proscar look about 20% better than Propecia.
HAIR COUNT - DIFFERENCES FROM PLACEBO
1mg 77-(-7) = 84
5mg 95-(-7) = 102
However, this is an unfair comparison since the doses were compared over different time periods. The hair count for 1mg was made at 6 months, that for 5mg was made at 12 months. Since Propecia takes up to a year to achieve maximum effect, there's no reason why the 1mg hair count couldn't climb towards the 102 figure. Since 1mg and 5mg of finasteride inhibit very similar amounts of DHT, that's what I'd expect.

Use them. Just don't believe you are doing the king of treatments. finasteride and topical GTE is probably a lot stronger than Avodart because the GTE is an AR blocker. Avodart only inhibits DHT production, not testosterone binding, and DHT is 3-4 times as strong as testosterone.

but we have no idea if the shampoo, is having an effect, especially when it is on the scalp for only 5 mins max. It is experimental.
I am not claimly that it doesn't do anything, and I want to try it out too, but it is not a definite effective treatment.
Plus, if you use dutasteride plus topicals then you would be doing better than if you u used finasteride and topicals.

where is there proof dutasteride holds hair counts as good as propecia for 5 years though. till dutasteride has similar test no one can say for certain. no one doubts dutasteride grows more hair then propecia in 6 months but till we get data on 5 years im still weiry. ill feel alot better once dutasteride is out longer and more data is on it, ill let you guys be my guine pigs for a few more years
